Being perfect is your defect
You love yourself
Try loving someone else
Care too much about attitude
I care too much about being rude
I’m a fucking waste of my fucking time
You’re a fucking waste of my fucking time
Look in the mirror
Love what you see
I bet you wanna fuck yourself
Look in the mirror
Love what you see
So go on and fuck yourself
Being perfect is your defect
You love yourself
Try loving someone else
Why don’t you go and fuck yourself
If you’re so goddamn perfect

I hate your culture
The only pleasure you can find is through poison
Enjoy yourself while it kills you
Disregard all your dignity
Disregard all your dignity
And return to the one thing that saves you
You're fucking hopeless
I give up on trying to save you
You were a lost cause from the start
Disregard all your dignity
Disregard all your dignity
And return to the one thing that saves you

Be polite and you're alright
Run away from problems and fights
Be polite to the girls
Make them your world
Be polite, don’t be mean
Be sharp, be shiny, be clean
You're only living for love
You could use a good shove
They walk all over you
They make you lick their shoe
Take it with a large, gaping smile
For you it’s always worthwhile
Be polite and you're alright

Grimy soup cans and grey water
Kept you til now
You hadn’t seen out
Supplies run scarce
Liquid paper for afternoon tea
Radio broadcasts
The time has changed
Who are you reaching?
They’ve since passed
Boxes of ammunition used since dawn
Feeling waist up
Feeling mind out
Broadcast response
Exit stage
Facade is done
Reintegration has begun
What do you do when it’s just you
Where you will be when you’re like me
Empty white brick room
Brought a new doom
The light bulb had no voltage
You stare at it ‘till old age
Share no space
Carry a cold face
Tread slowly
As they creep on up
You turn to lights
You want to escape
Feel the wind
The cold, when it bites
Feeling midnight
No more headlights
Radio broadcasts
The time has changed
Who are you reaching?
They’ve since passed
Radio broadcast
Broadcast response
No reply

Setting the stage
Check in the room
Destroyed with age
Open real soon
Sit on the bed
It's leaking red
Turn out the light
Thrown into plight
Then you're
Abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned
Thrown in the chamber
I'm thrown in my chamber
Fall through the ceiling
I fall through my ceiling
Look out the window
I look out my window
I see you standing
I see there's nothing
Then I'm
Abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned
Pitch black sky
With air so dry
Ear piercing sound
I can't look around
Walls so wet
The fate is clear
It's not over yet
So why are we here?
Must and mold
I'm so cold
Have I been here before
What's outside the door
Then we're
Abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, abandoned
Torn down, we're torn down
Waiting, we're waiting
Derelict, derelict, derelict, derelict
Motel

Profit For Prophets

I am sitting in the pews
I am waiting to be used
Hear the bells ring
A halo in my head
Hypnotised when the choir sings
I regret all I've said
Your God needs you to bow down
Your pastor needs you to pay him now
He doesn't need what you believe
He just wants you to grieve
Absolve the profit
Offer to the prophet
Wedding rings
Angel sings
Fire burns
Child learns
Lessons of life delivered to you
New art
Old heart
Played part
Restart
A spiel taken of the pure soul
Your God needs you to bow down
Your pastor needs you to pay him now
I am sitting in the pews
I am waiting to be used
Hear the bells ring
A halo in my head
Hypnotised when the choir sings
I regret all I've said
Profit for prophets
Inaction brought the pain home
Profit for prophets
You’ll die so cruel and then some

As the hours pass
The sky turns pink
The day’s run out
It happened in a blink
Your time’s long over
You watched it close
You make your venture
Made no demands
Everything is okay
The people in your life
Watch you walk away
You wonder how they felt
On any given day
The mind’s boiled
The ears and eyes
Senses made in grandeur
You made no demands
Now it seems illusory
You ask what you were
To those in your story
What you were in theirs
Your skin’s gone grey
As has the sky
When the moon rises
It’s too late to ask why
